One of the original families approved for a fundraising profile at AdoptTogether was recently involved in a situation with the Ghana government relating to the family’s attempt to adopt four children from its country.

The particulars around the event are unknown, but the Moghadam family released the following statement for those who have shown support throughout the ordeal:

“We are so grateful for all of your support and prayers. We are working alongside the officials of Ghana and our adoption agency for a speedy resolve and a smooth return home.”

Several news outlets have covered the story as it developed; of note is the OC Weekly, whose coverage area includes the Moghadam’s Irvine home.
